Scooters

A scooter is similar to a power wheelchair but it drives similarly to a car. They are available in 3- and 4-wheeled models as well as some designed for portability or extra weight-capacity.

Portable/Travel Scooter –Designed for easy transport, these scooters come apart to fit easily in a trunk. Three- and four-wheeled models are available, with some also coming in heavy-duty versions. These are also ideal for indoor use and they are the most compact.

Full-sized Scooter –These scooters are large and designed for those who want to go far. They have the largest battery capacities, with many ranging up to 30 miles per charge.

Questions to Ask Yourself:

Do you have a place to keep a scooter when it is not in use? It should be near an outlet to ensure batteries are always ready when you are.

Where do you want to go in your scooter? Knowing this will help you choose the best model for your needs.

Have you driven a car before? New drivers will likely require practice.
